Today, my friends decided it would be funny to engage the child locks on the rear doors of my SUV. My SUV has a bolted cage for the dog separating the front from the back. Guess who was locked in their own car for 2 hours? FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got locked out of my car while the engine was idling. The "good news"? My dog inside the car thought this was the funniest thing ever and barked happily every time I tried to open it. FML
Today, I went to pick up my dog from the vet after she had surgery. I somehow managed to lock my keys, my purse, and my dog in the car. FML
Today, I had to call AAA because not only did I lock my keys in the car, I also locked in my toddlers. FML
Today, I spent half-an-hour trapped inside my dog's crate. The door locked behind me as I squeezed myself inside to stroke her. After bellowing at my family in the garden for what felt like an eternity, they came through just to laugh and take pictures. FML
Today, I was driving back from school 100 miles away from my home with my fiancé and dog. While stopping for gas, we accidentally left our car keys and cell phones in the car. The dog sat on one of the keys and engaged the locks. We were locked out of the car until the tow truck arrived. FML
Today, I locked my keys in the car while the car was running because I got out to get the parking ticket attached to my windshield. FML
Today, my mom and I were going to the store. I stayed in the car while she went in. In the car next to me, there was a dog in the driver's seat barking at me. Bored, I barked back at it until I realized there was someone in the passenger's seat watching me. FML
Today, my toddler thought it would be funny to hide my car keys. After searching for hours, I found them in his toy box. FML
Today, I locked myself out of my car while the engine was running. I called roadside assistance, waited 40 minutes, then watched a stranger walk past, point at the unlocked passenger door, and open it for me. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. After looking for the spare key for hours, we called our insurance company, who then sent a "locksmith" with a wedge and a bar to open my car. All he did was break the driver and passenger doorhandles. My stuff is still inside. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it is really weird being the first to comment but anyways, you find should something equally funny/annoying and get back at your friends as for you being stuck get a cage that can be opened or removed from both sides

Did you knock wildly on the door, motioning for whoever notices to open the door? That happened to my mate. I saw him, and another person looking at him strangely, unsure what to do. The stranger thought my mate was trying something dodgy!

Why were you in the back of your own car?

This doesn't even make sense why would you be in the back of your car? Second, if you have an SUV then why wouldn't you put your dog in the very back rather than your backseat?

YDI for using a plural pronoun to refer to yourself.

Some SUV's don't have the 6-8th seats in the very back. That's where the dog area is. OP was stuck in the caged bit where the seats at the very back would normally be. SUV's don't have wind down windows that far back and the rear door is the door to the boot. OP may have been cleaning that area when his friends decided to put on the child lock and lock the door. And even if the windows did wind down the car wasn't necessarily on and he didn't necessarily have the keys. Hope this clears it up for some people.

Except there are no doors in that area either, except for the trunk door which has no child lock mechanism, but doesn't necessarily have a way to open from the inside either.

Feed the pooch cabbage and beans and lock your mates in there with him for an hour or so.

I'm the one who submitted this FML. Post #55 JaggedJacii is really the only one who gets it. My SUV is a Chevy Suburban with 3 rows of seats, electric locks, electric windows, and no handle on the inside for the tailgate. My keys were in the front seat along with my cell phone. I was looking for a pen that was between the 2nd and 3rd row of seats requiring me to climb back there. That is when my friends pulled their little stunt. I'm fortunate that it was not at night and someone came to my rescue, lol. The cage is actually a metal grate, forgive my misuse of the word. It is there to prevent my english mastiff from climbing into the front.

I don't get why you closed the door behind you. Naturally, when I'm fishing something from underneath my back seats I lean into the car and my feet dangle out...or I get in and the door remains open so you have both light and air circulation.

wind the window down and open the door from the outside?
